As new developments focus attention on Trump’s derangement, a shrewd media observer dissects whether the press is finally treating his deteriorating mental state as a major news event.

I’m annoyed a lot of the press is calling what he did “dancing” which makes it sound like he has more energy and vitality than what he was actually doing, just standing and swaying.
They just can’t help themselves but to be overly generous to him.
He was confused and lost. He may not have known where he was.
They’re sanewashing him more than anything
HORSE RACE

he kind of looked like Frankenstein’s monster attempting to sway back and fourth. if that’s “dancing”, then I must be a pro at it!
Didn’t he do that thing where he wanks off a pair of ghosts as well?
I wonder what the mean jerk time is on a pair of ghosts?
But could we call it dancing? Because that would make me look great at dancing! I would be extremely talented.

I mean if Kamala wins they won’t even get a slap on the wrist for mocking her/telling the truth about her. If Trump wins they gwt sent to the mines or caged until execution.
Meandering with slow motion convulsions is a much better way to describe it
Maybe that’s just what dancing is for man of his extremely advanced age.
So the headlines should read “old man shuffle”
Some are better, even at an older age.
I wish I had a shred of hope that it mattered whatsoever. His ilk would vote for him even if he was a literal corpse.
His supporters are calling it a “concert”. Like… bro. What the fuck. Come on.
Where it might matter is the turnout. If it decreases turnout by even 1% of his potential voters that absolutely matters
If nothing else, we can make it matter by letting it inspire us to take action that increases dem turnout
Find opportunities to volunteer for dems around you and online
Write letters to voters in swing states or in competitive downballot races
In fact, turnout has been the main thing that has made the difference for many elections. For decades. Very few people in the country still have any space to change their minds, in either direction. You might as well ask them to show up to the voting booth and change their religion (or adopt one).
But a lot of people can change their mind about whether they vote (which still seems insane to me). Almost everyone in that condition sees Trump is an evil sack of shit and understands that Harris is at least competent, if they know nothing else about either of them. Reporting on things like mental decline and Project 2025 is a way to convince them that we’re in danger, and it might matter for them to show up.
Let’s find out.
I think it’s going to get worse after he passes, because right now he has an active presence with its own will that his henchmen sort of have to listen to. After he goes, everyone around him is going to start doing some heinous shit “in his memory” or “because he would have wanted it”.
That’s a risk I’m willing to take.
Billionaires are bankrolling him (along with key senate republicans) and they have their guy JD on the ticket. My guess is soon after elections these billionaires will force 25th amendment to remove clinically insane Shitler and replace him with President JD as their surrogate.
There is no other explanation why billionaires are so openly pumping Trump and his campaign.
It’s dead simple: Trump gave billionaires a huge tax cut when he was president. They are backing him because he will do it again if reelected. That’s all they really care about.
Because Trump will cut their taxes again and even more.
If Trump wins I don’t think they’ll immediately replace him. Keep in mind Trump is easy to influence. He’ll agree to anything if you butter him up a bit so a lot of damage can be done under the guise of “Trump did it”.
Only when he rants out of line or does something that can’t be sanewashed will he be removed. In terms of ideal timing (for Republicans) right after the midterms works best. Trump usually causes problems for the midterms, but assuming he can shuffle past, after the midterms would be best. It would give Vance the incumbency advantage and still allow him to run for two terms.
Of course Vance doesn’t have the charisma for that, so it’s unlikely to actually happen.
It was just announced that Musk is going to be stumping in Pennsylvania every day since Trump can’t be seen in public. The stuff Leon, who’s not a great public speaker, says may prove as enlightening as it is infuriating. I’m half expecting him to freudian-slip in a “President Vance” at some point.
Anyone stupid enough to listen to Musk is already a lost cause. I doubt it will move the needle.
That doesn’t mean they don’t vote
Classic pump and dump, really
I’m willing to bet they saw Biden stepping down and promoting Harris, and said “Let’s do that, but after the election!”
I just don’t believe that Trump would go along with that.
The 25th amendment gives a path for the Presidency to be taken from Trump if he is deemed mentally unfit.
The “stop the steal” is coming from inside the house!
The implication is that he doesn’t know about it.
Obviously, but I’m sure he would fight it till his last dying breath. And I’m sure it would cause absolute chaos.
Trump doesn’t care. Soon as he’s sworn in he’ll pardon himself for any and all crimes past and future. Then grift as much as possible before getting the 25th amendment boot, which he’ll take gladly. No need to act president, and all his legal problems are solved. He can then golf all day every day, exactly as he wants

JD is the real danger here. He is so deep in billionaires pockets he will literally be the puppet of people like Thiel and Musk etc. this does not make Trump any less of a danger but we can not underestimate how bad JD can be. That guy is absolutely horrifying when it comes to his views about women’s role in society.
I can’t believe it’s only 20 days until the country is on fire again
In fairness, the media didn’t catch on to Biden until the trainwreck of a debate. Trump just masks it better.
But SNL called it waaaay back when Michael Che asked “Are we sure it’s OK to make fun of this guy?”
Trump in no way masks it better. His dementia has just been ignored by the media.
He has a manic energy to it where Biden just looked lost, that’s a pretty big difference.
NOT BIG ENOUGH.
